The grey coat. Obviously for me, I only wear them once a year – winter, when I travel overseas. I have about 3 winter coats, this trip to Yunnan I brought a fleece grey coat. Don't think its from a high street or coldwear store, I got it from a local departmental store two years ago. I love how comfortable it is (it acts as a good blanket or a bolster on long bus journeys). I didn't plan to wear it every day but eventually I did simply because the weather is too cold for me and that was the only thing that kept me warm throughout.
I just returned back from a getaway to Yunnan. Most people tend to visit more popular places and most would choose not to come to China but this time I visited China again, my 5th visit to different province. I appreciate China's strong history and culture, and you got to agree with me it's true. Truly an eye opener and a place I can escape from the daily buildings I see and fast paced society in Singapore (partly also an escape from the scorching sun here). But now, back to internship and school's starting soon.
The Editorial Manager at The Rake handed me this box of chocolate Dior gave as a gift during a recent event, and it ended up in my fridge because he didn't bear to eat it. Now I'm in a dilemma whether I should eat it as well because it looks so intricately drawn. Looks more like an art work than something to consume. Really appreciate the effort Dior put into every small things even chocolates. Can I keep the chocolate in my fridge forever or I should just close my eyes and bid it goodbye?
In this age of clothes recycling where we purchase something, wear them a few times, sell, purchase (and you know the cycle continues or you chuck them away). This blouse is considered a senior in my wardrobe, having been kept in it and still worn for close to 3 years. I honestly have no specific reason why I never sell it or stop wearing it, I guess its just comfortable and its basic with a unique collar cut. Moving on, the Margiela x H&M bracelet has joined the league of my everyday wear. I'm still quite amazed by the number of people who noticed this bracelet and told me things like my watch is falling off or asking me for the time. Cute observation, and they wonder why I wear a "fake watch" or "weird accessory" but I like it that seemingly odd way.
On my birthday last month, apart from the Italian food I had if you remembered, I visited The Weddings Dress, exhibiting gowns from across two centuries ago flew in from London's V&A museum. I'm one who wants to get married in my mid twenties and have kids one day. Since young, I tend to picture how I want my wedding to be, the gown...But I'll let God to guide me till that day comes.
For the first time in my life I've won something like a lucky draw, in this case, a giveaway. Few weeks back, VULTURE opened a giveaway by sharing and liking a photo of Margiela x H&M clasp bracelet, which I did and eventually won this giveaway. Though this bracelet is a little loose for my wrist, it is an extremely unique piece of accessory. A few of my church friends, got a little fooled by it, asking me for the time and then realising it isn't a watch.
A simple and sweet way to spend my 19th birthday. Coincidental Italian lunch and dinner with my love ones. The delicate knit is so beautiful, I know I will wear it for a long long time and this adorable is now my companion when I sleep and do my work at home. Finally bought new shoes, considering to remove those chains, they're redundant. (Thank you for the gifts!) The best way to spend a birthday is simply with your love ones, nothing beats that.
